question for the vestless guys on here

[TauntoHawk]

Do you really need more than a mouth call,pot call, couple strikers and your bullets ?

No but I gotta do something with all these expensive calls I buy

I dont pack heavy enough to worry about how to access anything... wingbone call around neck, tube call around neck or in pocket, mouth call in pocket, anything else in pockets such as TP or extra shells... I just have to carry my gun and tripod which is the biggest burden but is worth it

Being Diabetic I need to carry something to eat no matter how long or short of a time I'll be out there. A few years ago had a buddy almost slice his finger off while duck hunting so I put together a small first aid kit and always have that in whichever pack I'm using. Chief

I don't carry enough to have to worry over this. Besides my pants have 6 pockets, that is more than enough for what I need to hunt.

With that being said I do wear a vest most of the time. I have just learned over the years what I really need,and dont need. If its warm and I'm in the hills I travel as light as possible. It is nice to have a snack and a bottle of water with ya when it takes longer that you were planning.

3 extra shotgun shells go in my pants pockets, mouth calls and slates go in my chest pockets, decoys, water and lunch, and toilet paper go inside a backpack. When my decoys are set up I sit on my empty backpack, or my butt goes on the ground, sometimes the belly. Haven't needed a vest yet.

im modifying an alps outdoorz turkey chair now to hold my pots, decoy and other accesories.  It had the front pocket relocated to the back and added a second strap so i can wear it like a back pack.  I used a vest for alot of years nothing wrong with one but the more pockets you have the more stuff you think you need to carry. I ve learned it doesnt take much to kill a turkey, but we "THINK" it does.

It's not a matter of how much or what I can get in and out of the woods with it's how to carry it lightly. I don't want to just carry a diaphragm call or a trumpet around my neck.

I made the decision to go vestless this week after sweating to much in Florida last weekend from wearing a vest that I only used about 5 things out of.  I am going to start out with the ol tom shirt for one slate, 2 strikers, mouth calls in shirt pocket, and locators. Box call on belt holster. Bottle of water or dew in back pocket. Toilet paper in zip top bag. Another option is the H.S. stutt pouch it attaches to your belt and will carry the essential and a small cushion to on.  Starting to go with the less is more philosophy.

I use a bag with several calls etc. i hunt out of blinds that i have already built and i have my homemade chairs and stuff already in place. I also have one chair that stays in my truck for those plan B morning ...A good turkey hunter will always have more than one plan for turkey hunting . you have to think about weather,  rain shaded. wind and the heat of the day.
